Ranessa, derived from Scandinavian roots, is a unique and elegant feminine given name. It combines the elements 'Rana' meaning 'frog' in Latin, symbolizing transformation and adaptability, with the suffix '-ssa', commonly used to create female names in Scandinavia. Thus, Ranessa literally translates to 'like a frog'. This moniker offers a fresh and distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
The name Ranessa appears to have experienced a surge in popularity between the late 1960s and early 1990s, with peaks in births occurring around these periods. However, it seems that its usage has declined significantly since then, as there were only two reported births in the years following 2000.
